All the engine mount bolts are different from each other. Like most people, I use a scrap of cardboard and poke holes in them and label each bolt. If they get scrambled up some how, the Pelican web page has pics of the order they go in.

The 10mm triple square (it's not a torx fastener) may have to be cut down, which you can do with a dremel tool and several minutes of your time. Others have found stubby ones. YMMV.

I use a floor jack and piece of wood to support the engine from underneath. I've also got the Harbor Freight transmission jack which is a POS but good enough for the 99 lb boxster trans (It'll hold more weight without collapsing, but the mechanism will likely bind up with anything heavier).

It's not a hard job.
